Karigin - I took your picture and saved it so I could "
blow it up" to be sure; they added
APS TROPHY as I suspected in my last post.
Looking at the picture to the
left and level with the MG on the turret you'll see the standard
8-sided TROPHY "radar" cover you can also make out the same on the right side but with a "
raised" profile due to the angle of the picture.
BUNDESWEHR plan is to mount
TROPHY on a Company (17) of
LEOPARD 2A7V(A1) for an upcoming
NATO deployment in
OCT. 2022 as I had already reported awhile back. This would result in a request to push back the START date due to final deliveries of the tanks to get this first German unit fully equipped.
I didn't see anything else to indicate any other equipment was outwardly added besides the
APS TROPHY as
compared to the
LEOPARD 2A7V.
What I'm waiting on is a
final decision by the BUNDESWEHR if they intend to mount the
FLW 200 w/20mm AC as has been proposed.
Corrected my 
LEOPARD 2A6V(A1) to the CORRECT LEOPARD 2A7V(A1) in para 3 above. Sorry for any confusion.
Regards,
Pat
